How much will it cost?

We believe that, with our help, most separating couples are able to reach agreement about their children and financial arrangements, at minimum cost.

If your former partner qualifies for Legal Aid and you do not, then the 1-2-1 meeting and the first mediation session will be free of charge for you (signing of court forms is not included).
